Howard Dean on the Fifty State Strategy
Episode 66
Wednesday, 17 December, 2025
On this episode, Nancy is speaking with former governor, former presidential candidate and former Democratic National Committee chair, Howard Dean. When Governor Dean served as the DNC chair, he implemented what he called the “fifty state strategy,” a radical idea at the time with a goal of supporting Democrats in every state in the country, be it red, blue or purple. Governor Dean and Nancy discuss how the strategy worked two decades ago, what a robust version of it could look like today, and how to keep the grassroots growing and not left to wither in the sun. Don’t miss this refreshing conversation with a person who has seen the inner workings of government at the highest levels and speaks with refreshing candor about how things played out then and what we need to be doing now.Thank you for being a listener!Stay up to date on New Faces of Democracy by signing up for the newsletter here.If you or someone you know would like to be a guest on the podcast, send us an email at info@newfacesofdemocracy.org.If you like this podcast, please subscribe/rate/review on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
